I was in my iCloud account to check on subscriptions and noticed it said I created 39 emails in Hide My Email.
I have never used the Mail.app and some of them are actual emails that belong to other people!
I never created these!
Now I'm trying to get rid of them because they are just wrong.
I'm in my laptop preferences under iCloud and trying to delete them.
How did they get created without my permission?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.4
To all at Apple: PLEASE get rid of the unsolicited and unattended interference in using my new MacBook Pro to communicate with people I know and trust. I DID NOT authorize a Hide My Email app, or "service" or whatever it's called. I DID NOT install it or enable it and had never heard of it. Until friends, clients, and family members used the old-fashioned telephone to ask if I had changed my 25-year-old email address to a stupid collection of mis-matched words. Of course I didn't and wouldn't want to hide from those I love.
So ... how do we reverse this irritating thing? The instructions are not clear at all. I've been an Apple customer since 1983 and now can't trust this device or service. Seeking one or two quick sentences to delete this app and restore my email address as the only one associated with me.
The Hide My Email thing also is indicates that "I" created the email that it's protecting me from. There is no logic in this and I suggest removing it from everything Apple or Mac. Thank you.
OK I found it in my system settings and it seems to have created emails that are real, but not mine!
How weird is that?
I wouldn't want anyone to think I was sending email using their return address.
Very strange feature!!!
I simply went into my iCloud prefs on my laptop and there they were. The scary thing is some of them were legit emails of people I send email to and don't belong to me. I could have been accused of impersonation!
I don't know how it happened. But at least now, I know how to check it periodically to stop it.
I have the same issue. It says I had accounts for twitter and even an onlyfans account when I haven’t even been on the site. I wonder if it’s from the data leak.
thankyou wasted my time no result i ger
Who wasted your time? I gave you a solution. Don't be so ungrateful.
I never created these emails in Hide My Email
